ArcSaber 8 DX

When you're used to BAM, Boing is wierd at first But it exceeded my expectations!
Can you explain the grip-thing you're talking about?

 

It's a thin piece of foam, 1/8thick x 1/2wide, wrapped once on the grip, positioned at the hollow part of your palm, then a Yonex AC102EX overgrap on the whole grip. It serves as a second anchor besides the gripend. Feels great as well.

 

Yes with extra long handle and shorter shaft just like the MP100.

 

Are the length of the handle and the shaft the same on different grip sizes (G3, G4, G5 ...)?

Btw I noticed the japanese and british yonex websites are officially listing the Arcsaber 8DX.

 

Yes, same length of the handle and the shaft the same on different grip sizes (G3, G4, G5 ...).

 

we can buy it in denmark as well.

 

today i tried z-slash (3U BG65P 24x26) of my friend and my new 8dx (2U BG80 24x26).

my impression is z-slash faster than 8dx (maybe caused by different weight) and easier to clear. so far i still havent found what is special about 8dx. maybe i need some time to adjust.
one thing for sure 8dx is stiffer than z-slash.

i noticed that frame shape is like mizuno tc700 but thicker.
btw, my main racket is cab30 (3U BG80 24x26).

 

Maybe 3U is the wonder size? :/
Mine is a 3U and it is wonderful BG-80 also (always liked BG-68ti, but in the ARC8, BG-80 makes magic).

 

Has anyone tried the Arc 8DX with NGY98? "coz I'm just aching to restring mine..

 

imho a 3u z-slash's is also faster than a 3u 8dx, i believe its due to the head heaviness of the 8dx.

 

Is there going to be a new armortec racket released anytime soon?

 

ARC ZS is head heavier than ARC 8DX.

ARC Z is "faster" because of its slimmer and more aerodynamic frame.

 

thanks for the link. in any case i found my 3u arc 8dx head heavier than my 3u arc z.

 

For my case, i found my 3u arc Z head heavier than my 3u arc 8dx (same string , same type & length of grip).
But the 3u arc 8dx is overall heavier than 3u arc Z.

 

For my case, i found my 3u arc Z head heavier than my 3u arc 8dx (same string , same type & length of overgrip-Karakal).
But the 3u arc 8dx is overall heavier than 3u arc Z.

 

Just got my new Arc 8DX JP from Shuttle-house today, 3UG4, NBG98 @ 26#. I'm itching to try it out!

 

Strung another Arc 8DX with NGY98 yesterday @ 26/28#s, then played last night...it was the racquet combo made in heaven. Nothing came close..my other Arc 8DX was strung with BG85, then BG80 @ the same tension. The shots were crispier and the clears were effortless..then the smashes were powerful. Please give this string a try.

 

Go Arc LTD! lol

 

I'll give them a try on my ARC10 next time

 

is this the same as NBG-98 or different?
